Donetsk (Ukraine) (AFP) - Why the hospital? Why their neighbourhood? Residents of the Tekstylnyk district in east Ukraine rebel stronghold Donetsk have only tears and unanswered questions after a barrage of shells killed four people.


Miner Alexander, 60, and his wife were waiting for their son when a mortar shell hit the bottom of the steps leading to Hospital Number 27 as he came out after a check-up.

"The blast threw him against the wall. The shrapnel killed him," Alexander told AFP, the ground around the impact site torn up.

"When we got to him he was still breathing a little."

"Why didn't they kill me instead?" sobs the dead man's mother. "I can't believe it, I can't believe it."

A friend takes her by the arm to console her, telling her in a resigned voice that "we can't do anything."

The bereaved mother stumbles, suddenly feeling unsteady on her feet.

"But you've got a hole!" the friend says, pointing to the side of her black overcoat.

She opens her coat and finds a bloodstain, just under her lung, and is swiftly whisked away.

She cannot go to the hospital just a few steps away, however, because inside chaos reigns.
